- | ==Character Bio== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | '''Monkey D. Luffy''' is the main character of [[Eiichiro Oda]]'s anime and manga series, [[One Piece]]. The character and story theme were originally used in Oda's one-shot manga, [[Romance Dawn]]. Luffy is the Captain of the [[Strawhate Pirates]], and from the beginning of the story, aims to become the Pirate King. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | He tends to follow the stereotypical [[Shounen]] style main character: an overactive appitite, goofy, courageous, and with the potential to become very strong. Though as the series starts off, Luffy is already very strong, and as such, has no need to trying using his [[Akuma no Mi |Devil's Fruit]] abilities in a new way until much later on. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Easily identified by his straw hat with a red band around it, a red vest(a hoody in at least one movie), and rolled up shorts, he also has a scar under his eye, given to him by [[Higuma the Bear]] when he was 8 years old. This scene is not depited in the anime. | + | |

- | ==Family== | + | |
- | Monkey D. Luffy's known family consists of: | + | |
- | + | ||
- | [[Monkey D. Garp]] - Grandfather, Marine Vice-Admiral | + | |
- | + | ||
- | [[Monkey D. Dragon]] - Father, Infamous Revolutonary | + | |
- | + | ||
- | [[Portagas D. Ace]] - Brother, White Beard Pirates 2nd in command. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ==Devil's Fruit Abilities== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Luffy's abilities stem from his consumption of the [[Gomu Gomu no mi]], one of the many types of [[Akuma no Mi |Devil's Fruit]]. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | This initial ability gave Luffy the ability to stretch his body in various ways, which allowed him to use various attacks by increasing the speed, and thereby the force, of his hits. It also gave him the defensive attribute of being resistant to gunfire and cannonfire, all of which will bounce off of him. Despite this, he is still vulnerable to attacks which involve slicing and stabbing. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | As with all Devil's fruit abilities, Luffy lost his ability to swim, and becomes a hammer in the water. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ====Notable attacks==== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Gomu Gomu no Pistol: A single shot punch preformed by stretching his arm backwards, and allowing it to bounce forward quickly. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Gomu Gomu no Bazooka: A two handed impact peformed by stretching both arms backwards, and allowing them to bounce forward quickly. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Gomu Gomu no Fuusen: Sucking in a large amount of air to expand the body like a balloon. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Gomu Gomu no Stamp: A two footed impact preformed by stretching the legs. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ===Gear Second=== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Gear Second is Luffy's first innovation of his Devil's Fruit abilities. First used against [[Cipher Pol 9|CP9]]'s [[Blueno]], the technique gives Luffy an incredible burst of speed and strength and the cost of his stamina. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The technique is activated when Luffy uses his legs as pumps to get blood flowing much faster within his body. The blood pressure would cause the organs of a normal person to burst, but because of Luffy's rubber traits, his body can handle this pressure. Because of this increased blood flow, more oxygen is delivered to his muscles, acting almost like a steroid, as said by CP9's [[Rob Lucci]]. In this state, Luffy's skin is tinted red as a result of the blood flow, and because of his body heat rising as a result, he sweats, but it is quickly evaporated from his skin, causing steam to rise from his body. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | This technique has multiple downsides. The first is Luffy's quick loss of stamina, which means that the technique can only last for a short period of time, and he will be drained afterward. Secondly, as mentioned by Rob Lucci, he is damaging his body by using it, and potentially shortening his life, though Luffy says that is body just isn't used to it yet. And effect on his life span is not known for sure. | + | |
